Kelleys Island 4-H Camp

Bev Huston from 4H was our speaker at our meeting on Tuesday November 18. It was a very informative and brought up some ideas for our club to sponsor a possible retreat for the Area Boys and Girls club. Here is a quick recap from the 4h website "For over 60 years The Kelleys Island 4-H Camp has provided thousands of children, teens and adults a unique camping experience on one of Lake Erie’s most beautiful islands.The Kelleys Island 4-H Camp provides a combination of traditional camping activities with innovative outdoor programming. In addition to such main stay camping activities as hiking, swimming, archery and canoeing, a variety of educational and social development programs are offered as well. These include nature study, art and photography, astronomy, geology and history. Programming has been expanded from the original 4-H camping base to include day camps for younger children, and activities for families and adult groups."

One of the groups I am familiar with is the annual Perkins High Band Camp. Although I was not a member of the band in High School several of my friends were and the annual trip was something many of them looked forward to.
